(By Edward J. Neil, Associ- ated Press Sports Writer) (A, P. By Guardian’s Special Wire) MADISON SQUARE GARDEN BOWL, New York, Sepl..17—Jlmmy McLarnin, greatest Irish warrior of his day, climbed back on his welterweight throne tonight, battering back the savage giimeiiess pf little Barney R055, his one-time conqueror, in 15 fierce, controversial rounds, The Vancouver Celt came ‘back as he left the throne room three months ago-by isplit decision of two judges ind a referee--but he came biick amid o. storm of boos ‘of protest that flooded down on the ring like the rain that forced four postponements oi the battle over the past 11 iliiys.

New Arman came in under the wire last evening at Summerside to win the Strong-Morrison Cup with a. tie game, added to the pre- vious one all tie, and their 3-0 win last ‘Thursday. The game was a hectic scorelcs tie with bath teams battling at full speed to break the knot

Siimmerside Sea. Gulls opened the game with a strong combination thrust but were beaten back by a stubborn blocking defense. The play was held to a midfield punting duel in which the New Annan team gradually forced the Sen Gul‘s back on their goal line. Grccm, the Spa Girls goalie, was called upon time after time to make sensational saves.

In the last half the Sea Gulls op- ened strong but over-ran the ball in their eagerness to score , and clever blocking by the visitors gave the home team several close calls. There was four corner kicks in the last ten minutes of play. New An- non's double win of the A. E. Mc- Lean Cup and the Strong-Morris- on Cup is a. feat to be proud of, and credit must go to Bert Poole, for his clever coaching. Their strong printing and smart combina- tion playing when close in on the goal were features of all their games.
